The priest slams Irish Eurovision Song Contest hopeful Bumby Thug, claiming Ireland is “finished as a country” and says “we can’t afford to second guess” about the direction of Ireland. Stated.
Eurovision Song Contest hopefuls Bumby Thug have been criticized by a priest who claims Ireland is “finished as a country”.
Priest Fr Declan McInerney was not happy with Bumby Thug being chosen to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. Fr McInerney, the parish priest of Eyrecourt, Clonfert and Meelick in Galway, criticized Bumby Thug during Sunday Mass. He told the congregation, “Poor devil can neither sing nor dance.” He also wrote: “Now, friends, brace yourselves for this song. I turned it on and realized it was a Eurosong selection process. This song is leaving Ireland. It’s a song that represents what Ireland and Irish people and all of us are about my friends.” And all I can say is we’re done. ”
“We’re done as a country. And before anyone gets on their high horse and takes off, ‘He’s now starting to say a certain direction.’ Two continental heckles about who’s what.” “I couldn’t give you that, but you don’t have to hammer that into my heart.”I’ll appear on The Late Late Show. He also suggested that RTE had “no hope” of getting people to pay the license fee after the program ended. “Any hope of RTE making any of us pay the license fee is completely gone for me. I’ve never seen such crap in my life. Let’s start with the first song. Now… There will be a backlash. Do you care? I don’t care at all.
“Now on to the second song, which I’m sure was your favorite. And I saw the opening intro to this song of you walking around the streets of Macroom in Cork with a beautiful cloak. But that’s all. It wasn’t.” “Look, I’m open-minded and that’s why she dresses like this, and that’s fine.”
“And I was sure she was beautiful until the name was dropped that Bumbee Thug was going to sing the second song. And I was like, ‘Jesus, here we go again. Bumbee, this is What will it feel like?” “But listen to me, I don’t care what she was wearing, but on her back… there was a slogan and I thought, ‘This is what it takes to win Eurovision. Is that what you need now?” “?”
“Do we need someone right now to shove direction like this in our faces to get votes? And she knows she’s neither here nor there, I mean. I talked about adults who know what I’m talking about. She’s somewhere in between. Binary, non-binary It’s confusing. It reminds me of bales, hay, and straw. But that’s okay. “No problem.” Do we really need to have our young people examined at such a young age? And then that week, at a funeral, a mother came to me and said, “I’m going to have a new doctor’s appointment that’s going to be introduced in secondary schools next year.” I was really worried about the program. In relation to this relationship, sexuality and everything else. ”
“And she’s very worried about first graders learning things like that. If I had a son or a daughter, they wouldn’t hear anything about it until they were 18 years old. At all. , to almost junior toddlers, you might ask, “In the schoolyard, when you’re this, you’re that, and where are they hearing it?” ”
“I hope they’re not at home, but they definitely hear it on TV. The show is not suitable for kids of a certain age. You have to tell us what you are and what you do,” she stands for. ”
“Thankfully on social media, I think 99% of comments agree with me, but a minority say we live in modern Ireland. God help modern Ireland if you think this is what we are like.”
“People will say that young man is behind the times, but what was wrong with Dana and All Kind of Everything? What was wrong with Johnny Logan and Hold Me Now? Winning. “What was wrong with poor Linda Martin, who was trampled twice for this?” “Why me?” the Eurovision speaker expressed his dissatisfaction, adding: “Why me? ?I find myself asking myself why I have to say this. ?I think so, my friends, especially as a parent. ?I think so.” Once again, could you please protect them a little more? ”
“They are exposed to too much stuff at too young an age. And they were definitely exposed to this on Friday night. Both the music, the dance, the culture; If you could only come to the creative world or to Ireland, “it would go down in history. And the six songs that were performed were complete and utter crap. Because you have to send something that shows you’re different. Dear friends, there’s nothing wrong with being normal. There’s nothing wrong with being who you are. But…
“Farmers traveling on tractors in New Holland were big flags that said, ‘I am a farmer.’ You don’t see teachers arriving at a school and crossing the intersection and saying, ‘I am a teacher.’ ”
“Be who you are, but you don’t have to write a song and dance about it. Speaking of song and dance, the poor demon Bumbie Thug we have here can’t sing or dance, so it’s over. From one word. Patrick, next year you and I are writing songs and we’re going to Europe. ”
“So everyone, I’m sorry to say that I won’t be booking tickets to Malmö, Sweden this year. And I wish Bambi the best of luck, no matter what she votes,” he concluded.
Contacted by DublinLive, Fr McInerney defended his video, saying: “This is out there for everyone to see. There’s nothing wrong with what I said. I’m not criticizing anyone. I’m not criticizing anyone. “I did not reveal anything about it,” he said.
Representatives for Bumby Thug and RTE chose not to comment on Fr McInerney’s comments. But Bambi dismissed the criticism on Thursday, joking that religious groups were preaching about themselves. This follows an incident in which primary school students from Gaelscoil Ui Riada in Bishopstown, Co. Cork, attended a special Mass at St Joseph’s Church in Wilton to celebrate intergenerational faith. Grandparents were also invited to the service.
Towards the end of the ceremony, Parish Priest Fr Michael O’Leary invited a guest speaker to give a speech on faith across generations. Instead, the man began a nearly 20-minute rant about homosexuality, divorce and the downfall of society, according to the Irish Examiner.
He also criticized Irish Eurovision nominee Bambi Thug, a non-binary artist from Cork, for using the term “genderbender” during a speech. This caused some people to leave the church. “They’re preaching about Bumbie Thug,” Bumbee replied on X (formerly Twitter) with a laughing emoji. This comes after news broke this week that Bumbee are appearing in an adult music video for their song “Birthday.”
A shocking video of a naked artist eating cake between her legs and singing about drugs while smearing it on her chest has surfaced online. The two-minute clip, from Bambie Thug’s debut single “Birthday,” ends with a lit candle sticking out of the performer’s butt.
